Today, I went to a coffee shop with my friend. The guy rang her up and said it was only a dollar as he winked at her $10 purchase. Then he rang me up at completely full price. She got his number and I got to be the ugly friend once again. FML

Wow lol I'm sorry to say I like to be in shape we can all be obese Americans like u. 2 why are u hating.3. I'm far from shallow dusche bag I prefer women with a big heart than a pretty one whose a straight bitch

I believe I live in America I can put up any picture I want to put up that's kinda in the bill of rights. 2. What LOSER tries to pic up women over the Internet u don't know what I wear on a daily bases in the general public so u can't judge me. This is fml not a dating website so I don't care what profile pic is up

#24 - Yes you can put up any picture, it doesn't mean I have to like it. Some of my personal friends have met each other online and are now happily married, I do not appreciate you calling them "losers".
I'm going now, arguments aren't really my thing on FML.

It seems that #1 and everyone defending him are fairly new around here. Here's a tip. It's a pretty tight-knit community here. If you get some thumbs down, the just take it and move on. There's no need to fight for your point, because believe it or not, not everyone is going to agree with you. We all post comments that get buried, so why sweat the small stuff? Just move on.

How do people keep checking out those profile pictures? It doesn't increase in size when you hover over it, you have to manually click it, which is a lot of bother if you click on every single one. And you can't even spot a pic which might look interesting in this tiny size, it's just a jumble of colors.

#1, there is nothing wrong with your pic, and yes, beauty is in the eye of the beholders. Come on, people, leave the hate. Sorry for you, OP, don't let it get you down, you will find your perfect match, then none of this will mater.

Dlcj22, while I admire your ability to get and stay in shape, I can assure you that your "bill of rights" doesn't apply here. First, this site is French, not American. Second, I don't believe the bill of rights protects your ability to choose a profile pic. If you put up an offensive picture, I guarantee it would be taken down by the mods and you would risk being banned.
I do this public service for you and all noobs because I fucking care.

I was just simply stating that I am free to put up a pic without my t shirt if I want it's nobody's place to judge and yes I know I can get banned for putting up offensive photos any website reserve the right to ban members if they put up offensive photos what I don't get is why people are upset with the comment I made initially because I have no t shirt I believe this site was made so that other people can relate to a problem u may be having and to let you know ur not alone in a fml world

People here tend to get judged when they put up specific picture types - girls with duckfaces or in too-revealing clothes, guys who are shirtless. You went way off the road with your hypocritical statements about attractive women and how "plain Janes" have more to offer. Reverse bias is still bias, friend.

you can stop hating so much. Its funny cause i dont go out in public with my shirt off so i can bait them into sleeping with me turd. But you know me so well cause we are bros and hang out all the time

I dont understand how he posts a picture of himself without a shirt on makes him a hypocrite. That's how he looks; why should he cover it up? He's fit too- personally it wouldn't bother me if he was fat or fit. Also he judges OTHERS on how big their heart is, he's not judging someone else with his picture. It's just a picture of him, thats how he looks- in shape. Why do you have to look past that and try to create something that isnt there?
It's nice to see someone straight up say that he judges people on their personality not looks. It's nice and rare to see these days.

Personally, I'm judging him because he said he doesn't care what people think about him, yet instead of just giving it up (something long term FML'ers know..) he's fighting for people to see him in a "certain way." Oh and back when it was a shirtless pic, that, plus his profile, make him look very full of himself

I don't have to know you if you brag about "always getting the same result." either you sleep around, or your a virgin. And I'm pretty sure your not a virgin. So yeah. You are a manwhore and an openly admitted man whore. As the girl said "you treat girls like science experiments." and she's right.

its funny because im not fighting for anything specific or fighting for how you perseve me. Heres a question do you know me? do we hang out? do we oovoo, aim,skype, im or facebook no so you have no place to pass judgement.

WTF? What's wrong with working at a coffee shop? And what about her insecure, whiny post indicates OP deserves better?
Everyone here seems to be pretending appearance doesn't matter or insulting the man for being shallow. Bullshit. Something has to initiate our desire to get to know someone better. For many, it's looks and that's okay. For some it's humour, grace, intelligence, etc.; one catalyst isn't better than the other. It just ignites a spark; as long as you then go digging deeper, it doesn't matter what the spark is.
OP, grow up and get over it. I've run out of ways to say this nicely. Not everyone in the world finds you attractive, your friend attractive, or your friend more attractive than you. If you're claiming your life sucks because a stranger doesn't think you're beautiful, you need a serious grasp on perspective. Everything isn't about you. This is their story so stop trying to be a character in it - go star in your own.

112: Cheers for logic.
Gotta say, I don't see what the OP is whining about; obviously Coffee Guy was interested in her friend, so why is the OP butthurt about him not asking her out too? If he did ask both girls out she'd just be back here bitching about that.
Stop being so insecure and move on with your life, OP.

Next time just Op just make your friend pay for both things. Then you'll both get 1 dollar coffees. Obviously this is a recurring issue. You gotta prepare for that and learn to live with what you can't rise above.

112, As soon as I read the first few comments I groaned internally expecting another flurry of bullshit responses. Thank you for turning it around and being a light of common sense in a sea of stupidity.

OP definitely can do better because he honestly sounds like just another guy who buys girls drinks to get them to like him. If he brings her a silver platter with tickets to the next big game, then maybe she can be jealous.

Is that right? A douche working at a coffee shop? How do you know he doesn't own the coffee shop and 100 others just like it? How do you know he isn't just working there to put himself through business school or law school?
"Judge not, lest people think you're an asshole." I may be paraphrasing a bit.

He was hitting on her friend so he's a douche...? Wouldn't hitting on both them make him a douche?? Considering instead of just trying to go out with her friend he would just be trying to pick up any girl he could...

I don't understand how he's a douche? If he would've got both of your numbers, he would be considered a pig. If he got one, the other whines about her insecurity on FML. Dafuq?!
Immature women, you can never win with them.

Apparently no one likes my beauty in the eye of the beholder comment let me explain just because the coffee guy doesn't think I look good doesn't mean someone better who comes along will think the same way. Plus it just means he's shallow. U don't want that

See what u fail to realize is that ur judging me based on one pic I put up but u don't know how I act or anything life experiences has taught me when u date dime pieces u either get cheated on or left for something better so I prefer dating 1s,2s,3s,4s,5s, etc

So you're argument isn't really that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" but pretty girls are rotten so you're better off with average looking girls?
In other words, judging by looks... just in the reverse direction.
Bro, disconnect you're computer from the outlet. Go color your little star tattoos with a silver marker.

34 - Just stop. Please. I could care less what profile picture you put up, but your grammar and spelling is atrocious and I don't even know what the hell you're talking about anymore. You're making a fool of yourself.

Oh.. you've dated all types of women and now you're donning your life experiences on the likes of me and these average joe's on fml? How do you get all those girls.. is it those little twinkly star tattoos? Please feed me more bullShhhh. I need it to grow up and become a big strong pirate.

Dude I'm gonna be simple get off my nuts for real ur being completely retarded as for the girl who thinks I'm being a hypocrite I don't go around saying to women ur a 1 or 8 it's just to emphasize the point that I don't really care too much about looks. But if u think about it everyone has a type it can be something superficial or something more on the inside I go for more what's on the inside but let me ask you this if u saw a person what's the first thing that pops into ur head before u go and talk to them. Can u go up to the ugliest person in the bar and just talk to them or give them a chance everyone in the world can be just a little bit shallow wether they admit it or not even I am just a tad bit shallow but it's not the defining factor when I am dating someone

Dear,
Dlcj22... It's not that your being judged... You just keep contradicting yourself with opinionated responses which makes you sound foolish. You might not be shallow but, your expressing yourself all wrong. Based on you giving girls numbers ( ie 1, 2, 3... 10) whether you date high or low proves to be disrespectful and biased towards women. Oh, and your spelling is bad. Does your Mobil device not auto correct?

99 - Correction, we are idgits... too simple minded to understand that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and 1s-5s are better than prettier girls and most of all.. we are too simple minded to comprehend the logic behind calling people shallow while reeking of it ourselves.

I'm actually a med student at one of the nation's top medical schools. I beg your pardon.. I just felt like pointing out your bullSHhh. I'll stop picking on you now, enjoy the rest of your life person with whom I had a slightly amusing encounter with over the internet.

To put it this way;
if a woman came up to you and said "I've realized it's soooo much better to date average/not so good looking guys instead of hot guys. Do you wanna go on a date with me?", how would that make you feel?
Besides, since everyone has a type (which includes looks), isn't it rather strange to purposely go for someone who's not really "your type"?
(and if the "1s,2s,3s" etc that you say really are your type, then you wouldn't be grading them low, because you'd find them beautiful and grade them high instead.)

117 it's happened before lol I swear on my life a girl told me that exact same thing not word for word but still the idea was the same lol she said guys that look like u always end up cheating on there gfs even though I have never cheated a day in my life but to be honest I would give any girl a chance

I'm not going to judge you by your appearance, I'm going to judge you by the fact that you have the grammar of a six-year-old and that you really think people would ever believe you were in the Spec Ops.
I've seen some really fucking stupid COD players, but I think you take the cake sir.

Wow unfortunately I don't even see u serving our country but here's something u should know bitch what the fuck does grammar have anything to do with shooting a fucking gun to protect freedom or to make sure blonds like u don't end up getting bombed by terrorist why the fuck did I enlist as an infantry do get ragged on by some prissy little bitch about some fucking grammar fuck u bitch I enlisted to serve I did my time an got my purple hearts so e.a.d.

I would love to see your prissy little ass in fucking combat after a I.e.d just blew off your friends fucking legs off and ur half disoriented from the shock wave of the explosion in the heart of Kandahar province in Afghanistan u little fucking slut

Why because he saw a girl he liked and so he gave her a discount then offered her his number? Maybe they started chatting I don't know how many times when the barista's weren't busy they would ask me about my day and so on cause they are always friendly. He Probably thought she was interesting and thought here's my chance to find a girl that could be mrs. Right. I don't know but OP shouldn't be pissed she should be giggling with her girlfriend about how she got a free coffee which is awesome.

230, Not at all, it shows he takes advantage of situations as they present themselves and goes for what he wants. Why would he miss an opportunity just because someone is with her? The only thing he could have done is covered the cost of hers too just because she's the friend of the girl he's after - which would probably give him a few brownie points. But of course if it wasn't obvious they were together then, good for him.
I mean really, it's not like he knows if he will see this girl again, who just passes up on the opportunity cos her friend is there?

I'm sorry, but I don't understand the logic behind this comment. How does OP deserve it? And if OP is the "ugly friend", how is she helping her friend get guys? If anything, guys would stay away from both of them. (OP, I'm not calling you ugly, just hypothesizing the events that would unfold if you were.)

@vulpixvixen24,
Because all guys do an extensive comparative analysis before hitting on a girl.
That's why girls always go places in groups. They always make sure that there's someone with them
who compares worse in looks, income, or whatever category the guy might check.
After the guy's done running through his computer, a result pops out on which chick he should bust a move on.
